I was at a company where that exec won. In this case it was the Infosphere suite to replace a fully mature Informatica/Teradata environment and fix all the "issues". Obviously the issues were all design and management, not technical. 3 years a tens of millions later the whole project is shut down with no value delivered except a single data store and a couple API endpoints. That exec went back to his IBM sales job. Last I heard they were still paying for and maintaining all of it because that endpoint was used in a key product offering.
